The SafeDNS web filtering service as a tool to manage students' internet activity making sure they use the school's network for surfing to appropriate web resources relevant to their studies.

1. With campus full of inquisitive teenage students and wireless internet
freely available to them Dwight School Canada knew a reliable and easy-
to-use solution for web content filtering was a must to protect students
online
for the service. It is actually unsurprising as SafeDNS
daily improves and perfects its solutions.
Most educational institutions using SafeDNS
appreciate an opportunity to block malware, phishing,
botnets and distracting online ads, enable a safe search
mode in both Google and Bing search engines. With
this mode on, there's far less danger kids will see
something untoward and inappropriate in search
results. The same is true for a SafeDNS option to switch
YouTube restricted mode on. Watching YouTube videos
(which is all the rage among teenagers) is much safer
for children in this restricted mode than without it.
There was one more thing the school's IT liked much
about SafeDNS – very detailed service reports and
stats. Whether the school's IT needed to know which
domains and content categories were most popular
with the network users or which sites were blocked
with SafeDNS, this information and much more was
readily available in the service dashboard accessible
24/7 from anywhere on the internet. What made it
even better was that SafeDNS stats were available per
each filtering policy created by service administrators.
THE RESULTS
For a modest payment the school got a first-grade
filtering service satisfying all the requirements.
Having tried SafeDNS first hand the school's IT was
convinced this web filtering service on the special plan
for educational institution fully met the school's
demands. The educators got a personalized filtering
service with an almost unlimited opportunity for fine
tuning.
The school's network free of web threats and
inappropriate content allowed access to resources vital
for students' academic progress and Dwight School
Canada's employees doing their job.
THE PROBLEM
Finding a tool to manage students' internet activity to make
sure they use the school's network for surfing to
appropriate web resources relevant to their studies.
As teenagers spend ever more time online, sometimes
just wasting it and often breaking rules on what is allowed on
the web – browsing social media feeds, chatting with friends
and strangers via messengers, on gaming sites, adult-only
ones and the such, educators at times despair to attract their
students' attention and get them interested in what is really
important.
That is why the school sought an advanced technology to
help deal with the issue. And a special SafeDNS content
filtering solution for educational institutions and libraries,
Safe@School, proved very useful to the school's purposes.
THE SOLUTION
A SafeDNS solution for educational institutions provided
the filtering service Dwight School Canada was looking for.
What school's IT pros really liked first about SafeDNS was
that it blocked dangerous web content before it was
downloaded to web-connected devices on the educational
institution's network. When testing SafeDNS the school's IT
tapped into all the service features and options which were
plenty and decided SafeDNS was worth the money it charged
